The less they write Klaus as a lovestruck school boy and the more they stick with him being a scheming villain who's one step ahead of everyone, the more compelling he is.
Go with that feeling, writers. It's generally better than any other feelings you get...which isn't saying much whatevs.
Klaus is such a whiner I can't help but not find him scary; I find him douchey, but not scary. I know I should since he's a fucking Original, but he's such a wuss. Weeping over being such a forever alone loser, not having any friends, just having underlings that are forced to hang out with him, and then angsting over his sad life. Him falling over himself over Caroline is just the pathetic cherry on the loser sundae that is his existence tbh.
And I don't know if there's any kind of point to my rambling, so I'll stop now. Also in my icon he's supposed to have wolf ears but they look like bunny ears to me which is even better.

cackling at this also, why are all the originals such love-obsessed losers? why couldn't they have just been badass killing/scheming machines and leave it at that.
I really don't know, I'm assuming it has something to do with the show's obsession with soapy love triangle bullshit. I still can't wrap my head about Rebekah being so sprung on Matt after one fucking date, rme.
They should've followed Elijah's mould instead of going off and making the rest of them crazy about this shit.
elijah is definitely the best out of all of them but they even tried it with elijah what with gillies being all "let's make elena+elijah happen" rme
I wish they'd have kept papa!original on for longer, he had definite badass potential, but no, they had to go and fuck that up too.
I do get the rebekah liking matt thing. she seems to be a suck for the goodygoody types (with the exception of ripper!stefan) and no one is more goodygoody than matt (except for maybe marysuelena). plus, he was actually really nice to her and seemed to like her despite the fact everyone else hated her. idk, I put up with lovesick rebekah bc blind loyalty and the desire for attention/affection have always been a part of her character - plus I love it when she tortures and fucks with elena.
Was Gillies just joking about that? He seems very sarcastic tbh, I can see him just saying that to get the shippers crazed or something while he trololols in his corner.
Their usage of Mikael was so fucking dumb I cannot. They spent episodes building him up and then had Klaus just kill him straight away. Lame.
My problem with Rebekah being so desperate for Matt is that I think he's a huge douche and not a nice guy (rather he's a Nice Guy), so for me her obsession with him doesn't fit her past behaviour because he's a manipulative asshole.
Dude, I was laughing, but at the show, not with it. The scene itself was dumb as hell, but the "badass" music they added over it had me rolling. Elijah's coin toss thing was flawless, Klaus's picket fence throwing was ridiculous.
I hate the woe-is-me-my-daddy-didn't-love-enough-and-my-mommy-wants-kill-me schtick the writers have going for him.
He's had one thousand years to get over that shit. My dad is an asshole too and 5 years later, I'm not still crying over it. Fuck. It needs to stop.
I hate that all these guys have to have hearts of fucking gold and these super sob story backgrounds while Caroline and Bonnie have gone through hell and are treated like, "well, Caroline is simply toooo good at being a vampire. it's easy for her" (which, yeah, having your mother initially hate you and your father torture is totes easy peasy) and generally villainised by the majority of fandom (Bonnie deserves so much better than these dickwads but whatev).
And Rebeccah. Who's generally just relegated to spending time in a box whenever the writers feel like she may be becoming too sympathetic a character.
Also, they look like cat ears. He's missing those annoying whiskers that everyone was putting on their icons for awhile. I wanted to burn them all in a fire, but it's oddly fitting for Klaus.

IKR? He has the emotional maturity of pencil shavings, yet I'm supposed to be scared of his ~badass self? Um, no. Your daddy sucked? So have a large percent of the population's, get some therapy and get over it.
Don't even get me started on gender double standards on this show and almost every other one, the way they use Bonnie is criminal and offensive racially, and that's on top the show's gender fail. It makes me want to headdesk just thinking about it, so I won't go on about it any longer.
Rebekah's treatment drives me insane as well, because you're right, they just stick her back in her box when they don't have immediate use for her, it's actually comical how many times she's been daggered. And is yet another way they suck at gender. Elijah is off living his life somewhere but Rebekah's back in her box like us women should be when we're not useful (why yes I'm bitter, thanks for noticing).

Lol that's right, I remember that meme. Mmmm, burning Klaus in a fire, sounds good to me. Although at the same time I don't want him to go because JoMo is hot, I just don't really like Klaus. I only like watching him get pwned by people and crying wussy tears of loserness. We have such a ~complicated relationship.
Although at the same time I don't want him to go because JoMo is hot...
BUT THAT'S THE MENTALITY THAT JULIE PLEC FELL PREY TO AND GOT US INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Granted, she's got many other issues stemming from the fact that she apparently has the emotional maturity of a 14 year-old and the writing ability of Stephanie Meyer, but her inability to let go of the actor is what's got us into this predicament of love/hate with Klaus.
He just needs one last epic storyline where he doesn't whine about his dad or his mother, doesn't try to emotionally manipulate his remaining siblings on the basis of love of family, and doesn't attempt to win over Caroline with a lame drawing of a rose or some shit (because if I see the Beauty and the Beast comparison once more on Tumblr I may actually blow something up). And then he needs to die.
Or leave.
Because he's one thousand years old and there have got to be more interesting places on Earth than Mystic Falls.
Conversely, he could try the Moon. He doesn't need oxygen and the vacuum of space may wreak havoc with his insides a bit, but he's an Original...it'll heal. I hear the moon is great this time of year.
klaus is only fun when he's being a giant pain in damon's ass, blackmailing bonnie or tyler, and trying to win stefan over with his ridiculously misguided woo-ing.
Go with that feeling, writers. It's generally better than any other feelings you get...which isn't saying much whatevs.

Klaus on the other hand...

I have never laughed so hard during an episode of TVD. And I don't think that was there intention. But that was probably the awesomest he's ever been.
